This exactly what it is. And I wouldn't even mind that much if there was actual oversight of the AI and they actually investigated appeals like they are supposed to instead of just ignoring people, which they do. At the very least, I think that they owe users an explanation of the reasons why they were banned, instead of just silence when you are appealing. On top of that, what's funny is actual spam bots thrive on Reddit. It's innocent people who get punished by these bans, not bots And I don't mean just me. I mean there's an entire community on r/shadowban of people that have experienced the exact same thing and the exact same complete ignoring of appeals. It's just so frustrating. And then you got people like the guy commenting above just going, "well, you probably deserved it."when I've done nothing but contribute positively to the Reddit community for the last three years. But despite that one idiot above, I'm still thankful that at least I have somewhere to go to rant about my frustration lol

Given that the original ban was for no reason and I am not a bot a spammer or a scammer, no "they were not right about me" Just as they aren't right about the many many members of r/Shadowban that experince the exact same thing. Just as they aren't right about IGNORING appeales not so much as even REPLYING or even giving a reason for the ban. I don't know why you're on Lemmy sucking reddits dick and making assumptions about me but I came here to get away from Reddit not to hear typical reddit talking points like this.

Reddit Shady Shadowbans (lemmy.zip)
 

Reddit banned me for seemingly no reason. Twice. I'm sticking to Lemmy. I don't know how the moderators at reddit even function. The entire process is beyond shady. Not only do they not tell you why you were banned but they literally don't even tell you that you are banned. They let you just browse thinking everything is fine until you realize that every single post you make gets automatically deleted That your PFP suddenly disappears. that your achievements don't seem to work Then if you try to type in your account into a browser you're not logged in at, only then will you see that you're banned. Then if you can figure out how to get to the appeals page, which for some reason two of exists, even though they are identical, Reddit not only doesn't ever bother responding at all, but they don't even acknowledge that they received the appeal. Not even an automated message. Nothing. I don't know any other social media site that does this its just wild to me. Anyway, I'm here to rant about it because I can't rant on Reddit.๐Ÿคฃ hope you guys enjoyed the rant

Amazon Fire TV will now block apps used for piracy, even if you sideloaded them in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

To what extent? If I screen mirror my phone and watch a pirated show the "screen mirroring" contributed to piracy. If I open a browser and go to a streaming site the site "contributed to piracy." them saying they are blocking any app contributing to piracy is a very vague statement that would mean they would have to block basically every app that isn't some major corporate paid platform. In which case. That's fine I guess. We don't need firesticks. Plenty of other android streaming devices, or hell even a good ol computer with an HDMI port.
